SAINT LAWRENCE - August 10 Deacon and Martyr (†258) Feast St. Lawrence was one of the Roman Church's seven deacons. He was ordained Archdeacon by Pope Sixtus II in 257. One year later, he witnessed Pope Sixtus being led to martyrdom. When St. Lawrence was summoned by Rome's prefect and ordered to cede the Church's wealth, he promised to deliver riches exceeding all expectations. At the end of 3 days, he brought the Church's poor and crippled to the prefect and said, "Here are the treasures of the church. You see, the church is truly rich, far richer than your emperor!" The prefect was so enraged that he ordered St. Lawrence to be roasted on a gridiron. St. Lawrence had previously distributed the Church's wealth after Emperor Valerian's edict to execute all religious and confiscate their wealth. St. Lawrence was burned over a slow fire. When his skin was charred, he told the torturers, "Turn me over; I'm done on this side." At length Christ, the Father of the Poor, received him into Heaven …More

A Midwestern Doctor @MidwesternDoc Jackson had the same spine injury that left Christopher Reeves paralyzed for life. He fully recovered, stunning the world His mom’s secret? DMSO—a simple compound vets use for spinal injuries the FDA won’t approve. But that’s not the only “incurable” neurological disorder DMSO helps. Approximately 2000 studies support DMSO's use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to strokes, MS, ALS, chronic pain, neuropathy, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome, and a physician who began treating his patients with it estimates roughly 80% of what people see neurologists for goes away with DMSO.

The Trump administration is crafting a new nuclear strategy aimed at giving the president more “credible” options to use short-range tactical nuclear weapons in a regional conflict with Russia or China, NBC reports. The doctrine is being shaped by Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby, a long-time advocate of expanding the role of tactical nuclear weapons. His argument is that smaller, lower-yield warheads could be used against battlefield forces and military targets rather than cities. That distinction sounds reassuring until you get to the obvious problem: once nuclear weapons are treated as usable battlefield tools, the line separating conventional war from nuclear war gets much thinner. Critics warn that broadening their role could normalize nuclear weapons use and lower the threshold for escalation. China has accused Washington of "normalizing" nuclear use on the battlefield, warning that the US push for tactical nuclear weapons completely underestimates the risk of retaliation …More
Oh! So much to say about this beast. So many things I warned about. They either happened, was confirmed by their own forked tongues or in the making now. But I will waste my time because they still defend the beast with the forked tongue. Most of us already know he is a beast with a forked tongue. The rest will have their little bubble burst in their face soon enough.
Saint Laurent de Rome - 10 août Diacre et martyr à Rome (+ 258) - (Vatican News, 10 août 2021) les pauvres sont "les trésors de l'Église", selon la “Depositio martyrum”, le diacre de l'Église de Rome a été martyrisé sur la Via Tiburtina pendant les persécutions de l’Empereur Valérien, le 10 août 258. La "passio" de St Laurent, rédigée au moins un siècle après sa mort, n'est pas crédible. Le récit prétend que Laurent, diacre du pape saint Sixte II, fut mis à mort trois jours après le martyre de ce dernier et qu'il fut brûlé à petit feu sur un gril, ce qu'on ne souhaite à personne. La plupart des auteurs modernes estiment qu'il fut décapité, comme Sixte. Quoiqu'on pense de la valeur des "acta", il n'en reste pas moins que Laurent a toujours été vénéré, en Orient comme en Occident, comme le plus célèbre des nombreux martyrs romains (voir la liste chronologique, autour des années 258-259...). Les écrits des saints Ambroise, Léon le Grand, Augustin et Prudence témoignent de ce culte(*)…More
Saint du Jour 10 août - St Laurent ecclesiatv Diacre et Martyr († 258) Laurent fut l'un des plus illustres martyrs de l'Église. Ses vertus, son mérite, lui gagnèrent l'affection du Pape Sixte II, qui le choisit comme son premier diacre. L'an 258, le Pape fut arrêté et condamné à mort. Comme on le conduisait au supplice, Laurent, son diacre, le suivait en pleurant : « Où allez-vous, mon père, disait-il, sans votre fils ? Où allez-vous, saint Pontife, sans votre diacre ? Jamais vous n'offriez le sacrifice sans que je vous servisse à l'autel. En quoi ai-je eu le malheur de vous déplaire ? » Le saint Pape, ému, lui dit : « Je ne vous abandonne point, mon fils ; une épreuve plus pénible et une victoire plus glorieuse vous sont réservées ; vous me suivrez dans trois jours. » Puis il lui ordonna de distribuer aux pauvres tous les trésors de l'Église, pour les soustraire aux persécuteurs : mission que Laurent accomplit avec joie. Le préfet de Rome, à cette nouvelle, fit venir Laurent et lui …More

[Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] Chapter XVI ~ THE SAINT SHOWS THAT THE SUFFERINGS OF THE SOULS IN PURGATORY DO NOT DESTROY THEIR PEACE OR THEIR JOY. I SEE that the souls in purgatory in the midst of their pains are sensible of doing two things : First, that they are suffering willingly ; for when they perceive their own deserts and God's Majesty, they think that He is treating them with great leniency in afflicting them as He does ; for had not goodness tempered justice with mercy through the satisfactions of the precious Blood of Jesus Christ, a thousand hells would have been the portion of a single sin through all eternity. Hence they suffer all their pains gladly, and would not rid them of a single pang, knowing that all is justly deserved and righteously ordained : they no more complain of God, so far as their will is concerned, than if they were in life eternal. Secondly …More
"Secondly, they are conscious of feeling positive satisfaction in beholding the love and mercy with which God orders His work within them. They are made sensible of these two facts at one and the same moment, and being in a state of grace, understand them as they are, each soul according to its capacity ; and they experience great happiness, which never grows less, but, on the contrary, goes on increasing the nearer they approach God."
Brigitte Stegemann was an 83-year-old great-grandmother and a Christian. On July 10, she died through Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program in Ontario. Diagnosed with terminal Stage IV stomach cancer, Stegemann had wanted to die naturally. But while her granddaughter and longtime legal representative, Brigitte Kranendonk, was away on vacation, medical personnel discussed MAiD with Stegemann. She was subsequently deemed capable of choosing MAiD despite allegedly being unable to answer basic questions about her own family. Canadian Catholic News reported that Kranendonk said her grandmother had originally rejected MAiD but was persuaded to request it during her absence. When Kranendonk returned and asked her grandmother whether she really wanted to die, Stegemann’s reaction was heartbreaking. “I’m supposed to die on Friday? They want to kill me on Friday?”, she reportedly asked through tears. Her family says she later repeatedly expressed regret, telling them she had made a …More
